Cancer Research UK Centres

The Centres Initiative is one of our highest priority strategic initiatives and plays a major part in our 5-year research strategy. The Cancer Research UK Centres are 'virtual' partnerships working on a local level with universities, NHS Trusts, cancer networks and other charities, and on a national level with government and industry. 

These Centres of excellence in cancer will deliver world-class research, improved patient care and greater local engagement. The Centres form a national framework through which together we can achieve our 2020 goals and deliver the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer.
